My how Springville has evolved over the years. The beginnings, and the building up of a new town are fascinating. The foresight fore-sight of men who were in charge of moving things forward was incredible. One reason was necessity, the other was to make our city one of the top in the region. Springville's main road through town was a thorough thor-ough fare and travelers, in order to get to the other communities in the state, had to pass through this city. Of course, entrepreneurial-minded men took advantage of the travelers and newcomers in the city. Remember, Brigham Young encouraged people in the Utah Territory, or Great Salt Lake and surrounding sur-rounding communities, to be as thrifty, frugal and enterprising as possible-growing possible-growing crops, establishing establish-ing both cotton and woolen wool-en mills, manufacturing all goods possible right in the territory. This counsel served the area well when it was applied. Board and rooming houses hous-es existed for many travelers travel-ers who came into town, and by word of mouth they were well known. Brigham Young stayed at the Bringhurst home when he visited Springville, and Treatment by an allergy specialist for children and adults with asthma and allergies to: PLANT POLLENS FOODS PETS : STINGING INSECTS MOLDS Dua'ne Harris, M.D, is board certified in allergy and asthma as well as pediatrics and internal medicine. , ' - Florence White (Darlene, deceased) Greenland, Green-land, Leonard (Linda) Greenland, and Charles (Miriam) Greenland.

Hotels were also built, giving the traveler a respite re-spite from their long journeys. jour-neys. Traveling in the noisy, incessant shaking stagecoaches, wagons or surreys, (perhaps with the fringe on top) being tossed to and fro on dusty, rutted roads from points either north or south, added weariness wea-riness to the travelers and a nice warm meal, a bath perhaps and a comfortable bed were sought in the town of Springville. Can you picture in your mind's eye the decorations in these hotels? Were the beds of the four-poster style, or made of logs retrieved from nearby mountains, strapped together to-gether with horse or cow sinew, their springs made of sisal rope that had to be tightened every so often, or they sagged terrible. Remember the saying, "sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bit." Or were they the metal beds with wonderful springs brought into the town by the myriads myri-ads of freighters that came from the East with the grandest of goods. Were the mattresses stuffed with cattails gathered gath-ered form along the shores of Utah Lake, or from the straw left after the fall harvest of the wheat, or from the down of geese and ducks that fell prey to mighty hunters or raised by folks in town.

She loved working in the yard. Anytime you drove past their home on 400 East, the yard would catch your eye with beautiful beau-tiful roses, the lush green lawn, or the elderly couple working side-by-side in their yard! Amelia made friends very easily. She has passed this on to her children and grandchildren. She believed be-lieved in loving others and always lending a helping hand. The last year of her life, she lived at the Latter Lat-ter Day Assisted Living in Santaquin. She shared some very good times in that home with the staff pillows.

The wash stand had a prominent place in each bedroom holding a pitcher with water in it, and a bowl with which to wash your hands, with a bar of lye soap placed in its separate little dish-like container off to the side. There was a towel on the bar above or at the side of the stand. The bathtub, which was down the hall in a separate sepa-rate room and used by all who wished to indulge themselves in such niceties, nice-ties, was filled with "little" amount of warm water on demand. In the early days it was made of metal, not as we now know them to be. Sometimes there were tubs in the round or the number three tub. I would like to know of anyone who hired on as a chamber maid in the late 1800's and early 1900's in our town. The rooms and halls could have been carpeted, with straw placed on the wood floors to make floors warmer, and a hand-loomed hand-loomed rug placed over the top, or floors could be adorned with carpet brought in by freighters from the Eastern businesses. busi-nesses.

All of the above were the forerunners to what was housed in Springville many years later. Main Street became known as a busy "Motel Street," with motels covering areas from the north to the south Some of these buildings are still in existence today, not used as motels, but housing for many. Now we see the return to hotels again, as travelers cross America. We look to the west of town and see a large storied sto-ried hotel in Springville, and I am sure there will be more before too long.
